I am hoping that I get to the 11 days without symptoms, I can then breathe a sigh of relief and relax over the stay at home months to come

5 days so far

I’m being thick but what do you mean? Have you been in contact?

Insane. Like millions of others in the U.K., I am still having to go to work - I'm 60. Coronavirus is on the increase, but for the majority of people, life is still going on as usual.

Does it take 11 days from exposure to show symptoms?

How long is a piece of string ? It varies from person to person.

up to 14 days I was told so dont go out if you might have contacted someone who has been confirmed as having CV

I imagine craftycat is self isolating, and counting down the days until she has reached the point where she knows she is free from the virus.
Then, as she puts it she can relax. Of course she has to stay isolated from then on, or risk infection.

I'm not sure where the 11 days comes from?

Thumbs up craftyone, the more of us off of the streets self-isolating, the safer it is for our front-line heroes - GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

We've been social distancing and just leaving the house to walk the dog and then on our walk today someone walked up to the dog and stroked it. My partner, who had the dog at the time said he 'couldn't stop it' [yes he could]. Hoping it doesn't pose too much of a risk but the man had, he said, just been shopping. I'd just cancelled a burglar alarm service as I didn't want anyone coming to the house sad.
